Thanks for the details! I wonder if I should skip the whole powder coat route, and the associated concerns about residual media/sand particles, and just hit them with some good primer and engine enamel. It'll probably be the 95% solution, without the aggravation. I rattle canned the entire AOR front bumper after all, and am still quite happy with the results.
And if it doesn't last, I can always do the powder coating later (the plenums are certainly easy enough to remove).
